Environmental Geochemistry
Carey Gazis, Central Washington University
This environmental geochemistry course examines two perspectives on geochemistry: a scientific discipline with its own basic unanswered questions and a set of tools for answering questions in other geologic ...

Soil properties, morphology and formation
Lixin Jin, The University of Texas at El Paso
This course centers on the overlap of soil science and geology. Our goal is to explain the fundamental principles in soil sciences, introduce the concept of critical zone, where water, rock, biology, and atmosphere ...
